Run. Restore. Reconnect. The Respond & Restore First Responder Wellness 5K was created for the people who spend their lives showing up for everyone else. Law enforcement officers. Firefighters. EMS. Dispatchers. Corrections officers. And the families who stand beside them. This isn't just a race. It's a day dedicated to physical wellness, mental health, connection, and community. As first responders, we're trained to run toward the problem, push through the exhaustion, and keep going when things get hard. But taking care of ourselves matters, too. Our goal is to create a positive, welcoming environment where first responders and their families can come together, get active, connect with others who understand their experiences, and be reminded that they don't have to carry everything alone. Whether you're an experienced runner, a weekend walker, a first responder, a family member, or simply someone who wants to show your support, you have a place here. Your registration includes an official event T-shirt, finisher medal, race bib, and post-race refreshments. Come run for yourself. Run for your brothers and sisters. Run for the ones who didn't make it home. Run for a healthier first-responder community.

🐍🍺 Welcome to the Annual Cottonmouth Beerlay! 🍺🐍   Run fast. Drink hard. Don’t get bit. What do you get when you combine trail running, random beers, and your most competitive (and possibly least coordinated) friends? The Cottonmouth Beerlay, baby! This wild race at the beautiful Lakewood Nature Preserve is back for another year of glorious chaos, beer-fueled miles, and unforgettable memories.

Are you fast enough to outrun the Cottonmouth? Or will the beer bite first?  🐾 How It Works: Each lap is a 2-mile trail loop through the preserve. You’ll do it 4 times total. Before every lap, runners must consume a randomly-selected beer from the BYOB community pool Solo runners do it all themselves. Relay teams tag in one runner per lap. 🍻 21+ only

Why run down when you can run up? The Upville Mile is a 1-mile road race in Paris Mountain State Park, going one way - up - on the steepest part of Paris Mountain State Park Road. The route is one of the toughest, if not the toughest uphill 1-mile road segments in the Upstate, including nearby Altamont Road, and the road going up Sassafras Mountain. If you're looking for a running challenge, this event is for you. C'mon out to the park for a practice run and see what you think. With an average grade of 7.9%, and an elevation gain of 433 feet in just a mile, it surely will not disappoint. John Hart, Race Director umdirector@greenvilletrackclub.com

The Golden Hour An all-day fall running festival featuring two completely different one-hour races — connected by four hours of food, music, games, and fall festivities. There are two Golden Hours. One arrives as the sun rises. The other appears just before it disappears. The Golden Hour celebrates both. 1 Mile Loop × 60 Minutes Run it. Walk it. Race it. Just make sure you're across the line before the clock hits 1:00:00. The Rules Only completed laps count — no partial-lap credit. Morning and Evening participants each receive their respective finisher medal. Overall awards are reserved exclusively for participants completing both Golden Hours, determined by combined mileage from the two races. The Morning Golden Hour We'll start as the sun comes up. You have 60 minutes. The course is a one-mile loop. Your mission is simple: complete as many full one-mile laps as you want before the Golden Hour expires. Every lap must be completed before the 60-minute mark to count. Partial laps don't count. When the hour is over, stick around — we'll have free pancakes waiting for our morning runners as the Golden Hour Festival gets underway. The Golden Hours Festival The race may stop. The energy doesn't. Between our sunrise and sunset races, we'll turn the venue into a fall festival for runners, families, kids, and anyone who wants to spend a beautiful fall afternoon outside. Run in the morning. Bring the family. Grab some food. Play some games. Hang out with friends. Then get ready to race again.
